Kiadaw 6th Gear May 14, 2013 Share May 14, 2013 Yup, all these european languages are difficult to pick up because many things, even inanimate objects, are assigned a gender! Like in French. The German language also has seemingly random way of starting a word with uppercase in the middle of sentences (what for?) or as they like it, just join up certain words to form a very long word (what's the general rule?) English is widely known as the easiest language in Western Europe. When I was young I thought English is hard, until I have to learn German... & you have also to learn different form of the words e.g Anyway, more jokes from me. Glovebox, where you put anything, but not gloves What they said (What they mean) Real women (Fat women) You have character ( A polite way to say you are ugly) He is unique (Weirdo) With all due respect (He is going to scold you....) ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, actually Chinese is pretty easy... go is go, no Gone, going, went etc. Except for the writing the characters which is a b!tch :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandarin is the easiest, most concise and most logical language to learn and use for common usage. But, it takes a lot to master it at the highest level. English is quite illogical language and lengthy/mouthful to speak. It is not very difficult to learn despite lots of grammars involved. Actually, there's no need to learn the grammars. Just more exposure through listening and/or reading will do. And you will know what's grammatically correct and what's not.
